WSJ market alert:
"Standard & Poor's said Thursday it downgraded Spain's sovereign credit rating by two notches, citing "a challenging fiscal outlook" amid growing worries on the ability of the country's regions to curb spending.
The move is the latest of a series of debt-ratings downgrades for Spain, which entered the 2008 crisis with triple-A ratings like Germany, and has seen its credit score slip as the economy contracted for much of the period."
